Spend all your nights starin out that window
Looking for his headlights to appear
You know for sure he'll be coming home tomorrow
He'll pack up your bags and get you outta here
Off to a better life
Away from here
Dream a dream when you're all alone
Keep you warm when the nights are cold
Desperation is a heavy load
In a one horse town
Cry out if you think it helps
Waking up by yourself
Bottle it up, stick it on the shelf
In a one horse town
Like a faded memory holding on forever
You'll never forget the day he went away
A soldiers love often ends up in letters
You made him swear he'd write every day
It's been too long
Lord keep him strong
You pray
Dream a dream when you're all alone
Keep you warm when the nights are cold
Desperation is a heavy load
In a one horse town
Days go by you don't see his picture
And all the things you should have done
Remember the last time you said "I love you"
You closed your eyes, he was gone, yeah
Dream a dream when you're all alone
Keep you warm when the nights are cold
Desperation is a heavy load
In a one horse town
